Promotion and Award (Jakob Vonk)

Technician, Fifth Grade Vonk has been in SLT and leadership for many months now; his consistent firm, but fair, demeanour coupled with raw tenacity in bettering both himself and his squad at every opportunity make T/5 Vonk a joy to work with in a professional capacity. He has proven himself both capable and competent in his remit as squad leader and I am both proud and fortunate to have him as one of the CP2's squad leaders. This has been a long time coming: T/5 Vonk has now completed all the steps necessary in Charlie's SLT programme and it is an honour to see him earn both his NCO development ribbon and a fitting promotion to the rank of Corporal. Congratulations.

Cpl., you have been with us for a while now. Your efforts alone have led to this, nothing else, don't doubt yourself. It is the efforts of NCOs like you that keep this 29th thing going. Good work so far, I expect to be impresses many times to come!
Congrats on this.
